MarkAF43 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I find it funny how people complain the Bills don't take chances, it's the same old same old, they finally get bold and people complain. there's no pleasing some of you, obviously.

I'm happy to see a front office that has the balls to do something it believes in. The Ebron pick that was the 'conventional wisdom' probably would have resulted in the conventional results...nice player but not special. We now have a special guy in a pass-first league with enough complementary assets surrounding him that he doesn't have to carry the whole passing game on his back. The 2nd and 3rd pick will determine how this 'calculated risk' will be judged. Get two more instant starters (OL, TE) and next year's number one becomes less of a gamble, IMO. Yup - add a starting RT and high potential TE and that pick next year might be in the 20s.... Not bad if it works out.

We haven't been to the f****** playoffs in 15 years get over it Agreed... Worry about not having a first next year Bills just got the highest rated player in their board, how often does a team have a chance to do that? Edited May 9, 2014 by Max997

Dorkington Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 The pressure really is all on EJ this year. Man I hope he can do it.
goldenboy81 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Yes finally got some fools running the team and showing some nutz...

No more QBs will ever be available after 2015? Negative thinking prevails in the minds of too many. Swing for the fences with conviction and let the chips fall where they will.

What about his ability makes you doubt his ability? Strong, fast, agile, good route runner.... What about his skill set is strongly lacking?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 So then you take a QB the following year. At worst it sets you back one additional year. On top of that, EJ would have to look extremely horrendous to give up on him after two years. Most likely you'd still give him a 3rd year regardless.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Alright...now that I have calmed down down for a moment. And now that I am resisting the twitch of Mike Evans going #7 Watkins better motherf*cking own it. This year. This F*cking year. That seems rational, right?

Even the announcers like the pick... Well, yes the announcers did like the pick, but, when the price the Bills paid was announced, I saw Gruden shaking his head....he thought it was to much for sure. Now, the question is, why did Whaley/Marrone do this. I think that crew is one and done if they don't make the playoffs......so burning the furniture in the 2015 season is OK with them....neither of those guys will be working for the new owner if they don't produce this year. Unfortunately, I thought the Bills were a QB away from a playoff team this year, not a wr off.
rafter Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Tough losing next years 1, but we pick in or near the top 10 every year and still suck. There's worse things than taking a chance at a star. This team hasn't had a #1 since moulds.

I'm truly wondering if Whaley has an IQ that's much above 100 at this point, quite seriously. IMO he just sealed his and Marrone's fates. I guess we can start looking forward to the "rebuild" in 2016.
